FY22 $150k annual CIP BI-12-PW-19: EXISTING OUTDOOR RECREATION FIELD IMPROVEMENTS

Description: In addition to adding to the inventory of recreation fields, the 2010 Recreation Needs Study and the 2015 Recreation Field Report, highlighted opportunities for resurfacing or reconstructing existing fields in order to increase playability and improve service. Needed investments to add or improve playability include addressing drainage issues, improving turf systems, and/or converting “practice” fields to competition fields. The 2015 report highlights opportunities at the High School Athletic Complex, Clough Field as well as the elementary schools and Lafayette ball field.

FY22 $50k Senior Center CIP BI-12-PW-20: CONSOLIDATED INDOOR RECREATION FACILITY

Description: The 2010 Comprehensive Recreation Needs Study found the City’s indoor facilities are programmatically outdated, in need of significant capital improvements, and require individuals to travel from one facility to another to participate in all types of indoor recreational programming. Since this time, the City has added a Youth Recreation Center co-located at the Middle School and soon will add the multi-generational Senior Activity Center/Community Center. The need for community center facilities will be assessed following opening of the new center, whose lot offers potential for future growth.
